Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically driven device, for example an electric hair removal device, such as a wet or dry shaver, an electric toothbrush or an electric skin treatment device. The electrically driven device comprises a housing having a chassis, wherein the chassis comprises an electric motor having a first drive shaft, a battery unit, and an oscillating body having a second drive shaft. A first longitudinal axis is defined arranged along the second drive shaft, a second longitudinal axis is defined arranged along the first drive shaft, and a third longitudinal axis is defined arranged through the center of the body of the battery unit, wherein the second longitudinal axis and/or the third longitudinal axis are parallel offset to the first longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a swing bridge for converting a rotary motion into an oscillating motion, especially into a linear oscillating motion, especially within an electrically driven device. The swing bridge comprises an oscillating body defining a plane. The oscillating body comprises a slot arranged in the plane, wherein a first axis extends through the slot perpendicular to the plane, and a drive shaft protruding perpendicular to the plane along a second axis.

Abstract: An electric shaver with a drive shaft having a first rotary axis and a drive pin connected to the drive shaft eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis, and a driven shaft having a second rotary axis. The driven shaft is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft by a gear mechanism capable of converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating motion of the driven shaft.

Abstract: Electric shaver provided with a handle and a shaver head including at least one cutter element, wherein the shaver head is connected to the handle by a support structure providing for a swivel and/or tilting axis about which the shaver head may swivel or tilt relative to the handle, wherein the cutter element is drivable by a drive unit in an oscillating manner along a cutter oscillation axis, the drive unit including an elongated drive transmitter coupled to the cutter element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric shaver. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electric shaver comprising a handle and a shaver head including at least one cutter unit having a drivable cutter element and a shear foil, wherein the shaver head is connected to the handle by means of a support structure which in some cases may provide for some movability of the shaver head relative to the handle. The shaver head and/or the at least one cutter unit may have an elongated contour with a main axis extending transverse to the handles' longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to a cutting oscillation axis of the cutter element. The shaver head is spaced apart from the handle with a gap defined between a bottom face of the shave head and a top face of the handle, the gap forming a ring-shaped contraction in the outer contour of the shaver around the support structure and giving access to the support structure bridging the gap.

Abstract: The invention refers to a coupling for transmitting a driving movement from an oscillating transmitter of an electric shaver to a cutter element.

Abstract: An electrically driven device provided with a housing, an electric motor with a drive shaft having a first rotary axis and a drive pin connected to the drive shaft eccentrically with respect to the rotary axis, and a driven shaft mounted in the housing for performing a pivoting is disclosed. The driven shaft is indirectly coupled to the drive shaft by means of a gear mechanism converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating pivoting motion of the driven shaft. The gear mechanism comprises one intermediate shaft having a second rotary axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate shaft and at least one crank arm coupled to the drive pin. The crank arm is pivotably mounted in the housing and is coupled to the intermediate shaft thereby converting a rotary motion of the drive shaft into a reciprocating pivoting of the intermediate shaft about the second rotary axis.
